weblog 2014 November

My LinkedIn profile is accumulating relics from the
past - it's pretty good at that, actually. But what seems
to be missing from it is a crisp rendition of what is actually
going on in the present.

I like the walk down memory lane, but I'm not sure how
relevant it is as a description of what I am or what I'm up to.
With a career as various as mine, it's hard to do anything other
than come up with a big long list of projects and to simply
describe that past efforts are still somehow relevant.

Rotating the weblog to make it so I have a blank page again.
The older October 2014 log
is still online, as are a few relics from 1999. I like the month
at a time strategy for log rotation - that's very different from
the every-post-is-alone version that most of the blogging tools
I've used generate.

If I'm clever I'll create a script to generate permalinks for these entries,
based on a common scheme for index name rotation and some soft links in the
file system.

I'm looking for recommendations for a modern high-capacity backup drive,
ideally one that's known to work with Time Machine for Mac OS X 10.9/10.10.

This design is based on my first weblog, so it's kind of rough, and it
uses tables, and it's very, very plain. But I miss the weblogs of 1999
and am happy to be back at it. It's very nice to share a shell prompt
with interesting people doing neat things.
